contrast to those OF the past few days,
the leading shares becoming active on
narrow fluctuations. The interest in
trading was mOnopOhZed by few of the

care of itself, the peculiar state OF the
money market being the principal induce
ment Of this course. The opening was
rather heavy this morning, most of the
stocks showing small declines from last
evenings final figures. Themarket was act
i've but frverish and unsettled in the early
trading, though heavy tone was soon
developed in q majority of the list. The
movement in prices, however, was insig-
nihcant, and towards noon the
market became more settled and
quiet. In the afternoon comparative
dizziness overspread the market until s
much 1rmer tone was developed under
the lead of Oregon's realizations. In the
last hour the market again saggeG off
and the close was quiet and generally
heavy, close to the opening prices. A
majority of the active list is lower this
evening, but the declines in no case ex-
coed per cent. Oregon Navigation is
